Interfaith Council of Murrieta and Temecula Valley Welcomes Speaker Opal Singleton

From the Interfaith Council of Murrieta & Temecula Valley:

The Interfaith Council of Murrieta & Temecula Valley will present a special speaker, Opal Singleton, who will present “Million Kids and Human Trafficking” on Tuesday, July 19, 7 pm at the Temecula Public Library, 30600 Pauba Road. The public is invited to this free presentation.

It’s important to bring the whole family, including children who use social media. Today we hand our young people devices that open the door to an estimated 750,000 to one million predators! Never before has there been so much competition to influence your child’s morals, spirituality, sexuality, gender identity, self-image and decision-making. That used to be the role of the parent.

We are at a unique time in history. We have a generation of young people who have never not known the Internet, and we have generations of parents and grandparents who are techno-phobic. Some are techno-impotent. Young people live in a secret world where they hold all the power and parents are challenged to find ways to empower their children to learn new technology while finding ways to keep their child safe from predators.

Opal Singleton is the Training and Outreach Coordinator for the Riverside Human Trafficking Task Force. She has worked with parents and victims of child sex trafficking for many years. She is President and CEO of Million Kids and works with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
